This comprehensive policy addresses the gaps between policy advancements and the actual delivery of services at the community level, as well as the disparate development pattern in extremely marginalized and socially excluded women.

              Mission Shakti aims to realize the Government’s commitment for women-led development by making them equal partners in nation building. It strives to strengthen interventions for women safety, security, and empowerment, to focus on improving convergence across Ministries and Departments at different levels of governance, while promoting greater participation and support of Panchayati Raj Institutions. It will also focus on strengthening digital infrastructure support for last mile tracking of service delivery. It will also work in convergence with other ministries to address the gap in service-delivery by bringing governance to the doorstep of people as well as in enabling women to avail of the benefits of schemes implemented by other ministries.
